Embers

This time of year - autumn to winter - makes a lot of us a little melancholy, with colder days and longer nights. I try to enjoy the cozy aspects of the season - wearing wool hats, enjoying hot tea, and lighting lots of candles when the sun sets so early. I made a crazy candle from the ends of five different scented candles. Have you ever done that?

In early fall I bought a pot of red mums - a plant with lots of buds on it. They've only now starting really blooming. I can't quite figure it out. Last year our mums were beautiful for one week it late August and then they were done. Some people have green thumbs, some brown thumbs, but I have a confused thumb. Anyway, I'm glad to see some winter blooms.
